    Riley 6 x 12 is too Tough!

    Long time no post. I had a Brunswick Prestige 4 1/2 X 9 and found it too easy so I found a Brunswick Centennial 5 x 10 Snooker table and thought that was the answer, It was for me but I lusted for the 6 x 12 that I thought I mastered in my youth. I have the 6 x 12 Riley but I have no one that...

    Help with my pool table educatiion (at my age I rember more than I ever knew

    As my avatar shows I have an English snooker table and before this I had a Brunswick. In a discussion with someone on another form we were talking about rebound and I had stated that my 60+ year old Brunswick would yield 3 1/2 lengths when a ball was forecefully rolled from the D end to the...

    Ash vs Maple -attributes

    I searched the forum for Ash vs Maple shafts but did not get a 'hit' and also just ash and just maple shafts but again no 'hit'. I apologize in advance if this subject has been beaten to death but I would like to know the merits of ash or maple as a cue shaft. My thinking would be that maple...

    Divide up the for sale section?

    Any thoughts about sectioning the For Sale Section? I think if it were divided by Cues and Other it would be helpful and if the Cue Section was divided by $ it would make for better shopping. How about <200, 200-500 and 500+ I am looking for a lower cost cue and I do not have time to wade...

    Are rail positions table specific?

    I asked this in the snooker forum but maybe there are a few mechanics that work on 6 x 12 snooker tables. I understand the rails on an english snooker table are numbered clock wise from the 'D' end with this rail being 1 and looking down the table at the black spot the left corner to side is 2...

    Table Identification and/or Quality Opinion

    I was looking at this table today: and I was wondering where it would fit as far as quality when compared with Gabriel or Cheviot which are European manufacturers. Would it compare to any of the British tables? The rubber is L shaped and extremely lively. Another table I looked at was a...

    Why no location shown??

    I am curious why so many posters are so reticent about showing their location. I can understand it if this was a firearms forum but we are all pool players and I do not think someone is about to steal our tables. Yes, I understand cues are transportable but you can always put the valuable ones...

    Can any one identify/guess the manufacturer of this table

    Can any one guess or identify the manufacturer of this table? It is a 6 x 12 and the playing surface is 68" x 136". It kind of looks like a Gold Crown but the little logo on the end (that I cannot discern) makes me think it is a GC 'knock off'

    Pea Pool (Kelly Pool)

    As a kid growing up in Ontario we played 'Pea Pool' but after nearly 50 years I am fuzzy on some of the rules. When we played this I believe the 16 was 'wild' and that it was impossible to 'kill' the holder. We would play this in rotation and also shoot any ball. When playing rotation if you...
